Medusa And Her Men Picture

I was inspired to do a piece based on mythology as the remake of "Clash of the Titans" trailers started to be released in fall of 2009, but it took a few months for me to get around to it.

I always loved Medusa and wanted to do a piece that cast her as a tragic figure, beautiful but doomed to be attacked by an endless number of men until one finally succeeds in collecting her head.

This is the first paper-free piece I've ever done. I generally sketch, scan, and then clean up my sketches in Photoshop as a first step, but I recently bought a Wacom Cintiq so I sketched on my Cintiq. A new process for me, but I am happy with the results.
